The North Bethany community plan is the result of three years of work involving community members, property owners, developers and interested stakeholders. The work is supported by a technical advisory group and coordinated by Washington County staff and project consultants. The community plan provides high levels of service regarding parks, open space, and trails balanced with a variety of housing types and styles and providing local retail/commercial services. The plan focuses on the area's unique landscape features as well as blending with surrounding communities.
The hearings process schedule and additional information regarding planning for this community of distinction is available on the website: www.bethanyplan.org.
Washington County is committed to planning and protecting the uses of the land, balancing care for the natural environment, economic development, safety and community livability.
